The Astros are killing that 83mph fastball that was being taken for strikes in the 1st inning. Look for Buhrle to throw some off-speed junk.
I can't even explain that at bat. Maybe if he tried to but on pitch one it has some effect. But late in the count and down the middle? Oh well. That is why he is number 9 in the order. At least Biggio leads off.
Why must this dead horse be beaten every single game? As soon as Adam makes another diving throw across the middle of the field, everybody is all over him again, praising his wizardry. I also remember countless numbers of you complaining about the up the middle defense in last year's playoffs w/ Viz as our SS.... its no coincidence that we haven't seen a lot of those similiar complaints this year.
